Before coming to our academy, potential students must do many things beforehand in order to prepare and sustain yourself on you trip. One of the most important things is that a student must first earn and save the required funds necessary to pay for their training, tuition, visa renewal fees, travel money, plane tickets, and all other expenses, such as clothing and toiletries (which include soap, shampoo, razors, etc.), phones and local sim cards. Be sure to have extra funds available for possible emergency situations that may arise (medical expenses, replacement of lost passports, etc.). As well as for gifts to send back home.

​

It is also important that a student chooses the right time to arrive at the academy. Like in the west there are a few main holidays in China, those holidays are the Mid-Autumn festival and the Spring Festival, most people return home in these holidays to spend time with their families and nearly the entire country of China goes on holiday and travel becomes difficult, especially for the Spring Festival. If a student should happen to choose to arrive at the academy in this time, travel will be much more difficult than usual, hotels rooms and train tickets are booked and near impossible to purchase.

 

As far as hiring taxi cabs are concerned in the time of the spring festival, if you were willing to pay 10 times the cost of a regular fare you would still not be able to find a taxi driver that would be willing to take the job. Since these holiday seasons are the only times that many people have the opportunity to visit their families throughout the year, they will not sacrifice it for nearly any ammount of money. Since the academy masters have a week vacation in the spring festival to spend with their families, students may choose to practice on their own in this time.

​

It is a new students responsibility to check and see if the academy is attending or hosting an event or competition close to the date of their arrival. In the week before these events, the academy masters and older students will be focusing their efforts on preparing for their performances. If a new student is only staying for a short period of time, they may lose valuable training days if they show up in this time. If you are a sort term student planning to come to the academy, make sure that you arrive at a good time in order to get the most out of your training. Maybe you like to share the wushu or San da competition atmosphere and you can come in any time.

About Visa

Since we're an official educational institution we can process you a student visa.

The easiest and cheapest way for our students, is that first you apply for a 1 month Tourist Visa in your country and as soon as you arrive we will start the preparations for an X2 Student Visa.

​

The cost of the student visa, including transportation to the Migration Office and everything, can be around 1400rmb Max. (which is around 230$USD).

The visa can be done for a maximum of 6 months. In case the student wants to stay longer he will have to repeat this visa process (with our help, of course) multiple times, and let us know at least 1 month in advance that he wants to renew his visa.
